We will hold a 2025 Philadelphia Folk Festival!

Save the Date for Fest on August 15, 16, 17, 2025!

The Philadelphia Folksong Society is grateful for the amazing community support while we came together to bring Fest back! We want to thank every patron, sponsor, volunteer, vendor, advertiser, neighbor, and community partner for supporting the 2024 Philadelphia Folk Festival! Because of our community’s support, our 2024 Fest was a financial and musical success!

Founded in 1957, PFS has offered programs of presentation, participation, and education throughout Greater Philadelphia and the nation year-round. We are dedicated to preserving the past, promoting the present, and securing the future of folk music and related forms of expression through education, presentation and participation.

PFS has contributed to the preservation of a variety of musical styles and historical perspectives and has acquired both local acclaim and international recognition through popular programs such as the Philadelphia Folk Festival.
